Hi Marie,
It
 was great meeting you and the BMW club at the 2013 Kent Branches HOP. 
Again, on behalf of the Hop rally committee, I would like to thank you 
all in the BMW club very much for supporting our little classic car 
rally. We decided to e-mail you first as you were so kind to support us 
in 2013.

As you might have guessed, this e-mail is to let you know about the 2014 Hop.

This
 year we will be holding the HOP rally at Headcorn Aerodrome on the 31st
 August and we will be raising money for the "Peggy Wood" breast cancer 
care clinic in Maidstone. This is a very worthwhile local Kent charity 
that benefits the local community. It is fitting due to our aviation 
theme this year that it has been rumoured that the BMW badge denotes a 
spinning propellor! I understand that if we get enough requests there 
will be air craft and pilots available for special rate pleasure flights
 on the day for rally entrants!

I
 have taken the liberty of enclosing an entry form for you and your 
members, there are more details of the rally on the entry form and also 
to be found on the website:-

www.kenthop.co.uk

many thanks, and looking forward to seeing you all at the Hop!

regards

John Matthews (secretary, Kent branches HOP rally).
